Minnesota Won't Pay For Testimony

Minnesota will not pay for testimony from a key figure in the investigation into academic cheating in the men's basketball program, university President Mark Yudof reiterated Saturday.

Former academic counselor Alonzo Newby said Friday that the university's investigators don't really want to know what he knows. But he's willing to talk if the university pays his attorneys' fees, indemnifies him from legal liability and pays him the $132,000 he contends former coach Clem Haskins promised him.
